Biotech programs evolve. A discovery team becomes a translational team becomes a clinical team, and the tools that worked at one stage need to grow with the program rather than be replaced at every transition. LabRelations is built for that journey: LIMS for samples, assays, and lab work; CTMS and EDC for clinical trials; QMS for documents, deviations, and training as programs mature toward IND.
Each system is designed for the team using it, and the validation envelope grows with the program. A discovery scientist works in tooling appropriate for discovery, and the same data carries forward when the program crosses into the clinic. The systems can share data when it helps a program, and stay independent when it doesn't.
LIMS for the lab, CTMS and EDC for clinical, QMS for quality. Used independently. Connected when a program needs it.
LIMS handles samples, assays, instruments, results, and inventory. Scientists can write up an experiment and have the structured data land in a queryable database without copy-paste. Cell lines, freezers, reagents, and protocols all live in one place.
CTMS for studies, sites, subjects, and milestones. EDC for clean data capture. eTMF that builds itself as the trial runs. Built so a small clinical team can stay in control of a program without drowning in spreadsheets.
QMS for documents, SOPs, deviations, change control, training, supplier qualification, and CAPA. Light enough to start before full GxP, deep enough to scale into manufacturing prep without re-platforming.
No. Compliance controls turn on when you need them. Discovery can run without electronic signatures and lock-step approvals. When the program reaches a stage where they're needed, you turn them on and the existing data carries over.
Yes. They share a common data model and APIs underneath. A sample tracked in LIMS can flow into a clinical record. A deviation in QMS can pick up context from the lab. Wire them together when it helps a program, leave them apart when it doesn't.
Configuration happens in the UI. Workflows, fields, approvals, and dashboards are changed without writing code or filing a vendor ticket. Configuration sits inside the validation envelope, so a change isn't a code release.
Yes. Most likely. Results land against the right sample without manual entry.
A mix of people who've actually worked in the industry supported by technical people for configuration needs inside the platform itself.
